In fact, due to the Manufactured Housing Association’s strict regulations over the past twenty years, “manufactured homes have about 30 to 50 percent less air leakage than stick-built homes,”according to a recent study by The Michigan Manufactured Housing Association.

Here’s why:

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets efficiency standards for manufactured home construction differentiated by thermal categories in different regions of the country.

These standards are enforced by inspections conducted in manufactured home production facilities by third party inspectors under HUD.

These materials along with tight building codes, are reducing overall energy costs for homeowners, and use fewer natural resources, too.

In addition to strict HUD and state codes, many RoseLake Estates homeowners have added additional manufactured home energy efficient features like:

High-performance insulation

Thermal-pane windows

Thermal-pane sliding doors

Energy-efficient under-skirting.

That makes these RoseLake Estates manufactured homes a good initial investment for lower mortgage payments – as well as a good long-term investment – keeping up their value and kind to budget conscious Hoosier homeowners – especially during cold Indiana winters.

At RoseLake Estates, we have updated, energy efficient homes available to fit your needs right now. Come visit us – just minutes from Indy, north on I69, exit 214.

Here’s what RoseLake Estates pet owners can do to keep our cats and dogs safe and healthy in this colder-than-average month:

Keep on eye on smaller pets when they are outside, especially at dusk. Coyotes and foxes have a harder time finding food in the snow and often come closer to homes in search of easier prey.

Dogs should not be left outside on chains, especially when the temperatures are below normal.

Dogs and cats need extra food to stay warm during the winter, and should be fed twice as much when the weather is very cold. A high-calorie canned food helps provide extra energy.

Pets cannot get enough water from snow or ice, and must have liquid water to drink.

Keep walks short. Fur around dog paws can freeze into painful ice balls. Trim the fur around your dog’s paws and take shorter walks. You can also spray your dog’s paws with non-stick pan spray before walks.

Although pet-friendly de-icers are available, most salt and de-icers can be toxic to dogs and cats. Keep your pet away from roads and sidewalks that have been heavily treated.

While outdoors, do not let your dog eat slush or drink from puddles near heavily treated roads and sidewalks.

If you see a dog outside for extended periods of time, take action. Be a kind soul and call FIDO Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside, a non-profit animal welfare organization 317-221-1314. FIDO can help the dog as well as the dog owner with options including shelter and dog food, if needed.

RoseLake Estate moving tips for family pets:

Moving day is a high-risk time for your pet to get scared, disoriented and run away. Make sure your dog or cat is safe and secure at all times during unpacking and moving in.

Update your pet ID tags with your cell phone information.

If you use a tracking service or microchip ID, be sure the service knows where to reach you by updating your records before your move.

If you’re going to need to change vets, let the staff at the old vet know and provide your new address in case anyone calls the hospital because of a rabies tag on a found pet. (Rabies tags usually have the vet’s phone number on them.)

Let your new neighbors know you have a cat or dog when you introduce yourself and your family. This way, if your pet gets out and lost, your neighbors can help him reconnect to his new home.

Re-establish a routine as soon as possible.Pick a time and a place for feeding, and stick to it for all pets.

At RoseLake Estates, we welcome families and their well-behaved pets. We’re happy to show you the new, roomy and updated pre-owned manufactured homes now available for you and your family.

At RoseLake Estates, we encourage our homeowners and our community to be smart and proactive this holiday season — so you don’t get caught up in any kind of “phishing” net.

Here’s a few tips to stay safe online from the folks at RoseLake Estates manufactured homes:

·Shop at familiar online retailers. Sometimes scammers change the name of a familiar retailer name by just one or two letters. Verify before you shop.

·Beware of making purchases after clicking on a link from a pop-up ad.

·Use security software. Make sure firewalls are always active.

·Generally, sites using the “s” designation in “https” at the start of the URL will be secure sites. Look for the “lock” icon in the browser’s URL bar.

·Avoid online shopping using unprotected Wi-Fi in public places. Unprotected public Wi-Fi hotspots may allow thieves to view your transactions.

·Avoid phishing emails that may suggest a password is expiring or an account update is needed. The link you click may take you to a fake website that will steal usernames and passwords or can track your keystrokes.

·Use passwords that are strong, long and unique. Avoid using a specific word, especially one that’s easy to figure out, such as your pet’s name. Use a different password for each account.

·Even though it may be a pain, use multi-factor authentication, such as a security code, usually sent as a text to a mobile phone, in addition to usernames and passwords.

·When it’s time to get a new computer, phone or tablet, be careful of how you dispose of your old one. Make sure to wipe the hard drive of all information before trashing.

It only takes a few extra steps to protect your information from predators online. Besides spending untold hours on the phone with creditors after you are “hit”, it often takes a full year or more or get back your good name and re-establish credit.

Shopping online can most certainly make holiday gifting quicker and easier. But it also makes it easier for cybercriminals to shop – for your credit card numbers, financial information, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive data that belongs to you!

Why Carefree?

Part of the answer is just about every home built in the United States are factory-built in some way or other. Even site-built homes may have roof trusses and many other assemblies built in a factory. Why? Because manufactured home builders have found that they can control costs and maintain consistent construction quality by using factory-built components.
